Results of the recent UNOLS Marine Seismic Questionnaire (MSQ) demonstrate the value of an early career scientist Multi-Channel Seismic (MCS) chief scientist training cruise. Proposed, and awarded, are funds to carry out a MCS training program that includes 4 days of seismic data acquisition to increase the number of early career scientists experienced in marine seismology and to demonstrate the value of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography portable MCS system, a UNOLS facility. The training program consists of three parts: (i) Webinars prior to the cruise to expose the participants to the fundamentals of active source marine seismology, to provide the scientific background needed to plan the upcoming survey effectively, and to introduce the participants to open source processing and interpretation tools. The Webinars will include Proposal Writing and Data Management training. Applications will be solicited, including a maximum 2- page science proposal, after the webinar series. Once selected, participants will discuss their cruise plans with the PI team prior to the pre-cruise workshop via several telepresence meetings; then, during a 2-day workshop immediately before the cruise, the participants will finalize the cruise plan under the PI team's guidance; (ii) A training cruise. Each participant will contribute to the entire team walking off the ship with post-stack time migrated data, as well as writing a cruise report collaboratively; and (iii) a 2-day data interpretation workshop with computer-based visualization software. Intellectual Merit: The proposed survey regions are on the active continental margin of the west coast of the United States, where a variety of sedimentary and tectonic settings are available, providing targets of interest to a wide range of participants. At the extended continental margin off the coast of Oregon, the seismic reflection profiles acquired, processed, and archived from this cruise can be used to image the subducting plate and the Astoria Fan, as well as accretionary ridges hosting gas hydrate and pockets of hemipelagic sediment containing paleo-oceanographic information. Targets have implications for addressing important societally relevant questions, such as earthquake hazards and paleoclimate records in basins. There will also be potential for using seismic techniques to reveal real-time, fine-scale within the water column around upwelling regions of the northeastern Pacific Ocean boundaries. Open access data from this cruise can augment on-going and near-future science conducted by a broader community. Broader Impacts: For this novel, transformative project, early-career scientists will be selected from a wide applicant pool. This science mission will be advertised on the MSQ and other geoscience listservs, and encouraged participations of underrepresented minorities and women by promoting the opportunity via organizations such as Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Scienceand Earth Science Women's Network. Participants will gain not only first-hand seismic cruise experience but also experience communicating their research to non-scientists. The proposed activities will be used to inform the public about the unique and essential contributions of seismic research toward solving a variety of important societal challenges. Results will be shared on the AGU's GeoSpace blog and Instagram account. Important deliverables from the pre-cruise and onboard activities to the community are to establish and provide "cookbook" of the open source software used during this cruise; and make the data acquired from the cruise open immediately as soon as they are archived at the publically accessible archives. A post-cruise survey will be conducted in collaboration with the UNOLS office to obtain feedback from the participants and encourage the participants to write NSF proposals, the number of which will be the direct and ultimate measurement of the success of this ECS.

最近的UNOLS海洋地震问卷（MSQ）的结果证明了早期职业科学家多通道地震（MCS）首席科学家培训巡航的价值。提议并授予的是进行MCS培训计划的资金，其中包括4天的地震数据获取，以增加海洋地震学上的早期职业科学家数量，并展示Scripps海洋学便携式MCS系统的价值，UNOLS设施。培训计划包括三个部分：（i）在巡航之前的网络研讨会，使参与者接触活跃的源海洋地震学基础，以提供有效计划的科学背景，以有效地计划调查，并向参与者介绍开放源来源处理和解释工具。网络研讨会将包括建议写作和数据管理培训。在网络研讨会系列之后，将征集应用程序，包括最大的2页科学建议。一旦选出，参与者将在学前研讨会之前通过几次触觉会议与PI团队讨论他们的巡航计划。然后，在巡航前为期2天的研讨会上，参与者将根据PI团队的指导完成巡航计划； （ii）训练巡游。每个参与者都会为整个团队提供堆栈后的迁移数据，并协同编写巡航报告； （iii）具有基于计算机的可视化软件的为期2天的数据解释研讨会。知识分子优点：拟议的调查区域位于美国西海岸的积极大陆边缘，那里有各种沉积和构造环境，为广泛的参与者提供了感兴趣的目标。在俄勒冈州海岸的扩展大陆边距上，从这次巡游中获取，加工和存档的地震反射剖面可用于对俯冲板和阿斯托里亚风扇进行成像，并托管托管气体水合物和含有含有古eCocececececocococecococopraucry信息的气体水合物和口袋。目标对解决重要的社会相关问题具有影响，例如盆地中的地震危害和古气候记录。也将有可能使用地震技术在东北太平洋边界上升地区的水柱中揭示实时，细尺度。这次巡游的开放访问数据可以增强更广泛的社区进行的持续和近乎未来的科学。更广泛的影响：对于这个新颖的变革项目，将从广泛的申请人库中选择早期职业生涯的科学家。该科学任务将在MSQ和其他地球科学列表中进行广告宣传，并通过通过诸如Chicanos/西班牙裔社会和美洲原住民社会在Scienceand地球科学妇女网络等组织（例如诸如ScienceAns Earthers Science妇女的网络）等组织来促进机会，从而鼓励代表性不足的少数民族和妇女的参与。参与者不仅会获得第一手地震巡航经验，而且还会获得将他们的研究传达给非科学家的经验。拟议的活动将用于告知公众地震研究对解决各种重要社会挑战的独特和基本贡献。结果将在AGU的Geospace博客和Instagram帐户上共享。从灌溉前和船上活动到社区的重要可交付成果是建立和提供此巡游过程中使用的开源软件的“食谱”；并在公开访问档案中存档后立即从巡航中获取数据。将与UNOLS办公室合作进行灌溉后调查，以获得参与者的反馈，并鼓励参与者编写NSF提案，其数量将是对该ECS成功的直接和最终衡量。
